spladle08 753 Report post Posted April 27, 2018 (edited) He'll be a force at some point and I bet he comes back for 4th (Bradley/Coon loser could get him on backside... well hell he will have to beat Varner or Rey....) nevermind I don't bet that. Be will likely be in that 5th/6th match. But Coon is a mountain.... wow Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk Edited April 27, 2018 by spladle08 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kudos for entering with the big boysm He is almost certainly the future, but that is not even a possible takeaway from that match. Being large and strong still counts.

dmm53 501 Report post Posted April 27, 2018 Ramos with the key 1 pt on shot clock defense. I don't think Ramos took a single shot; did he? Rodriquez took a ton of shots and was put on the shot clock twice. Ramos did nothing. Terrible ref. Ramos needs to be Fix-ed! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BigTimeFan 1,032 Report post Posted April 27, 2018 When Snyder wrestled Gadisov at Beat the Streets way back when and made a good show we all knew something big was afoot. Snyder was a year old than Gable at that point (two?) and has spent the year at the OTC. This is similar. Gable was not able to compete with Coon’s size and strength and experience. Today. But he will get there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wrestlingphish 701 Report post Posted April 27, 2018 Snyder wrestled Gatsalov who is one of the most decorated upper weights ever and lost like 5-2. 11-0 and backing off the mat multiple times to avoid the match ending earlier against a guy who has never made a world team is a little different than that. 2 simple and GranbyTroll reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah... hate to say it, because I really wanted to believe Gable was already ready to compete at the senior level, but you're right. Still want to see how good Coon is too... maybe he's our best heavyweight? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TBar1977 3,953 Report post Posted April 27, 2018 (edited) Verkleeren has a nasty leg lace. Two matches in a row where he gets 1 TD and straight to that lace for the remaining 8 pts to secure the TF in like 30 seconds.

Still want to see how good Coon is too... maybe he's our best heavyweight? If Gwiz is going to beat Coon he is going to have to "bring his hips to the party" as Jim Gibbons might say. I am also not sure if Coon and Gwiz even meet. Bradley and Varner will have something to say about that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PRyan2012 344 Report post Posted April 27, 2018 I agree Coon looks like our best heavy. And he is a true heavy and has cut to make heavyweight. Perfect. I love Gwiz and of course Varner:-) but they are just to small. 250 and 235 is not going to cut it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

simple 271 Report post Posted April 27, 2018 I think Gable's biggest issue going forward in the senior level is his lack of size. He's relatively short and doesn't exactly have a huge frame. He's as skilled & talented as any American hwt, but it's hard to overcome 4-5 inches and 30-40 pounds when guys are that good. He's going to need to add Snyder type strength while keeping his quickness and skillset. I think come 2020, it'll be a tossup between Gable, Coon, and Gwiz.
